100% use Seattle. St Louis doesn't stand a chance . They can't make this line high enough. I kno my rams , and I know that bastard Pete carroll .... this will be ugly from the beginning

But if you can save Seattle til week 9, you've got them at home laying 2 TDs+ to one of the worst teams in football as opposed to a road divisional game laying less than a TD..

I have NE left but that game scares me. I'm leaning Ravens or Redskins. I'm saving Seattle.

I'm going with PIT this week.

Ive used - NYJ GB NE SD PHL ARZ

There arent alot of lopsided matchups this week.

NE is the biggest line but those 2 usually play a tight game. NE will most likely win but they dont have "it" this year. The rest are a TD or less. Im not saying lines are everything but they are usefull.

There will be better spots for SEA in the future. STL is due for a win at home and SEA on the road is a different team than when they are home.

No way BAL repeats last week. ATL can show up anytime and think they are better than their record.

DAL I just dont like against the NYG

Its a risky move but Ive already talked myself into it.

I like that Pittsburgh pick, Hami.....but don't really trust that team right now. They're shaky. Although they've won, lost, won, lost, won, lost..........so the trend is on your side. I want to go w/ the safe bet this week.........and I think I am going to submit Seattle. Still waiting as I have till 9pm tonight....

To me, it's all about thinkin ahead, brother. Playing to win, not last longer than most. Gotta have a map to the end of the season. I used the Jets in week 1 and Redskins in week 2. As you know, both teams are 1-5 and those two games were their only wins. This has allowed me to stash the big dogs so that I can bust em out when other people are in panic mode with scarce resources. Last week was the first time this came into effect as I finally used Denver and watched more than half the field drop with Seattle and Cincinatti. Now only half the field has NE left, but they're the biggest favorites on the card now at home against a terrible team. Some people may be forced to go with Seattle this week, and even if they do win, which they should, week 10 will be interesting for them as I sit back n watch the Hawks stomp Oakland for a free pass on to week 11. It's all about the strategy to me.

In my Survivor Pool, a tie is considered a WIN. I was rooting for a Cincy loss, but those that had the Bengals survived in this pool. I don't think a tie should win, but those are his rules.

Cleveland on the road after that big win at Pitt? Yikes. I believe they have some key injuries too.

Looking at the same. How can ya not be? Thing is, everyone is gonna be on Dallas and Cleve, majority on Dallas, I'm guessing. Thinking about this pool I'm in, there's 9 left including me. If all 8 take Dallas, why not take a shot somewhere else and try to win the pool with a Dallas loss? Hmm..

Yea. I could take Dallas also but I know half the pool will be on them. I like taking teams that nobody will be on that way if one of the big teams fall it wipes out a chunk of the pool. I rolled with Indy this past week and watched Seattle and Cleveland drop over 50. From 966 we at 116 left. I think it might take until week 17 to win this. Gonna be tough but I'm hoping a large amount gets knocked out soon. It's going to start getting harder.
